Perched on a steep rock, the castle is a real landmark not only for the town itself, but for the whole of Garda Trentino.
From above, it seems to cast a stern eye over the hustle and bustle of the town centre. This is where climbing fans meet after a wonderful day on the rocks and enjoy a well-earned aperitivo in the bars around the piazza.
Arco is indeed known as the "home of climbing" - not only in the Italian climbing community, but also internationally. The crags of the Sarca Valley have become increasingly popular since the 1980s, when climbing began to spread among mountain enthusiasts. Today, there are thousands of routes of all levels of difficulty on the walls around Arco.
But the town itself is also a popular destination for sports enthusiasts in general, as is the whole of Garda Trentino.
Garda Trentino, let yourself be spoilt
A spectacular Mediterranean landscape rises from the water and over steep mountain slopes into the blue sky, green valleys stretch out into the greenery, shimmering lakes beckon from afar and promise a great experience of nature. Sporting adventures and pleasurable experiences vie for the favour of guests here, as Bella Italia can always produce culinary delights in villages that bear witness to a vibrant culture.
Travel to the Valle di Ledro, the Comano area or the Valle dei Laghi: immerse yourself in the traditions and be surprised by the richness of the flavours of the local products, the charm of the history and the incredible beauty that nature offers in abundance.
And if you are a sports enthusiast, simply choose one of the many outdoor activities on offer. From water sports (sailing, windsurfing, stand-up paddling, canoeing...) to hiking, from mountain biking to via ferrata, from canyoning to road cycling and climbing - you'll be spoilt for choice.
In this corner of Italy, which lies between Lake Garda and the Brenta Dolomites, you can experience the longest summer in the Alps: from April to October, an excursion with plenty of action and Italian flair is always a good idea.
